Josh Geltzer, 2005 Scholar, King's College London

It seems rather ironic that, of all academic disciplines, the one studied most differently around the world might well be, of all things, international relations. I expected studying in Britain to be different from what I was used to in the States, but it has turned out to be more different than I imagined: scholars are interested in different questions, different debates, and different ideas from the ones that dominate the study of international relations in the United States. So, studying in the War Studies Department at King's College London has broadened my academic horizons and expanded my intellectual frontiers. It's also been quite a lot of fun, as students from all around the world not only join in interesting classroom discussions but also have a really good time in the vast playground that is the city of London.
